Chapter 581: Difficult
Because of the heavy wind and snow, at noon, most of the people in the army just ate some cold dry food and this good spirit, and then hurried on the road.
There is still a long way to go before the intended goal, and if you don't hurry up for some time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get there before the sun goes down.
Because of this, after listening to the guide's words, Yue Fei also concentrated all the extra time.
What's more, in this cold place, the soldiers of the Southern Army who are uncomfortable with this cold also need a lot of activities to gain a trace of warmth for their bodies.
It was just after noon that the wind and snow not showed any signs of abating, but became more and more violent.
The bitter north wind, mixed with snowflakes the size of goose feathers, is raging wantonly, slapping on people's faces, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
Even if you barely look around, you can only see a white world of ice and snow, and the flying white snow seems to hide the entire world in a fog.
The snowflakes fell on the bodies of the advancing people and horses, and soon covered them with a thick layer of white coats, although in the process of advancing, they continued to shake off the blood on their bodies, but this naughty snowflakes still seemed to be doing these things with pleasure.
The soldiers of the Southern Army, who were from Jiangnan, were in this situation at times, and they were all in awe of this unknown thing and scene.
Even Yue Fei and the generals behind her had a bit of shock and solemnity on their faces.
In fact, it's not just them, Rao is the well-informed Bai Qing, how can he have also seen such a scene? Rao once watched the life in the deep ice and snow world in the video, and felt novel, but when he actually encountered it. I know what kind of difficulty it is.
The guide who was invited also had an indescribable sad look on his face.
Although they listened to the advice of local guides before setting off, they also requisitioned and made a large number of snowmobiles, which are a kind of wooden tools used by the people of northern Xinjiang in the Great Qi to move in the snow, which is somewhat similar to the sleds of later generations. But after encountering this kind of icy and snowy scene, it also became difficult.
The blood under his feet is already more than two feet thick, and almost every time he steps on it, it will not reach his knees, and it is very simple when he steps on it, but when he wants to pull it out, he has to consume a lot of strength, and many soldiers have not been able to master this rhythm. Before he could pull out his foot, he was accidentally pushed by his companion behind him, and then the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
And it's not just one person who has this situation, these soldiers who grew up in the warm Jiangnan have never experienced this scene, so they naturally have no experience to deal with this.
It's not just them. Even those war horses were at their lowest point at this time. The big nostrils were constantly "humming" and spraying hot air outside, and a thin layer of ice had already formed on the eyelashes, and they slipped in a few steps.
"This weather, it's amazing!" Niu Gao carefully reined in the reins of the horse, controlling the horse to maintain its body shape and not fall and shake its head. Shake off all the blood on the helmet, and then complain with some urns.
"Don't speak, watch your step!" It's just that his sudden stop caught Zhang Xian behind him a little off guard, and he almost hit him. Immediately raised his head, and scolded Niu Gao a little angrily.
Niu Gao laughed twice with some embarrassment, and just wanted to scratch his head, but he felt that the exposed hand was cold, and quickly retracted it.
Hearing the conversation between these two people, Yue Lei, who was closely following Yue Fei, just wanted to laugh out loud, but she didn't pay attention, the war horse under her crotch slipped under her feet, and then she stood unsteadily, and planted forward.
Fortunately, Yue Fei's eyes were quick and he grabbed the reins of the war horse, so Yue Lei only stumbled for a moment and didn't really fall to the ground.
"Mother, thank you so much!" Yue Lei patted her chest with some trepidation, and then said to Yue Fei with a grateful face.
"Concentrate on the road, don't look around!" Yue Fei scolded Yue Lei lightly, then turned around and continued to move forward.
"This general!" At this time, the guide turned his head and cautiously called to Yue Fei.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the guide's words, Yue Fei turned his head and looked at the guide with some confusion.
"General, at the speed at which we are moving now, it is a little difficult to reach the predetermined place!" The guide hesitated for a moment, but still whispered to Yue Fei, and at the end, after a pause, he had a somewhat nervous look on his face, and seemed to explain to Yue Fei in a little panic: "If it is only based on the strength of the villain's feet, it will definitely be able to arrive later today, but with such a large army, it is difficult to move in this snow, so ......"
Hearing the guide's words, Yue Fei couldn't see any expression on his face, he just lowered his head and pondered something.
"You guy, it's all the way you pointed, and now you can't tell us, what did you do earlier!" Yue Lei, who was on the side, suddenly became anxious after hearing the guide's words, and shouted loudly at the guide, looking like she couldn't get rid of it quickly.
"Yue Lei, don't be rude!" Bai Qing on the side suddenly spoke, frowning and stopping Yue Lei, after all, this weather is changeable, and it is not entirely the guide's fault, not to mention, in this northern Xinjiang region, it is not easy to find a reliable guide, and they still have to rely on him now.
"Yue Shuai, according to our steps, since we can't reach the scheduled place, we have to prepare in advance, it's better to send out scouts from now on, search around for places where we can stay overnight, and save ourselves to find it later, but it's too troublesome!" Bai Qing said solemnly to Yue Fei.
"Alright! What Bai Xianggong said is reasonable, so let's do it! Yue Fei nodded, and agreed to Bai Qing's suggestion, and then turned his face away, looking at the guide, with a kind look: "This little official, dare to ask around here, is there any place for my army to rest for the night?" ”
Seeing that Yue Fei was not as fierce as Yue Lei just now, the guide gradually calmed down, first looked at the surrounding terrain, and then looked like he was meditating, and after a while, his face suddenly showed a little surprise: "By the way, general, the villain remembers, there is a small village only seven or eight miles away from here, although it is not big, but if you think of a way, you should be able to go over and make do with it all night, so as not to sleep in this ice and snow!" ”
Yue Fei nodded, and after asking about the general direction, he beckoned to Dong Xian over there, and after saying something to him, Dong Xian took a hundred and ten horses and took the lead in the direction that the guide said more......
